SVGD as a kernelized Wasserstein gradient flow of the chi-squared divergence
Sinho Chewi, Thibaut Le Gouic, Chen Lu +2
Stein Variational Gradient Descent (SVGD), a popular sampling algorithm, is often described as the kernelized gradient flow for the Kullback-Leibler divergence in the geometry of o…
Exponential ergodicity of mirror-Langevin diffusions
Sinho Chewi, Thibaut Le Gouic, Chen Lu +3
Motivated by the problem of sampling from ill-conditioned log-concave distributions, we give a clean non-asymptotic convergence analysis of mirror-Langevin diffusions as introduced…
Gradient descent algorithms for Bures-Wasserstein barycenters
Sinho Chewi, Tyler Maunu, Philippe Rigollet +1
We study first order methods to compute the barycenter of a probability distribution over the space of probability measures with finite second moment. We develop a framework to…
